PATCHED Active.BootDisk.Suite.v7.0-DOA

No NIC.No Sound, I've heard some AC'97 chipsets work with new drivers...and others have no supporrtNo SATA.PS2 Devices work perfect w/ patched DVD.Only Video mode of 1024x768, but I've heard it can be fixed with some effort.No QE acceleration, but it is said to be in-the-works.System says "Burn Support: Yes (unsupported)" for the DVD+RW, so I'm guessing it will not burn disks.The system runs great, had it on an Old 3gb IDE HD and the system still seemed faster than a single-cpu G4!Just get the sound, NIC,

Comments: Runs very well, not one crash, using x86 Deerpark and Thunderbird. No audio yet and USB is borked. Video is VESA 1280x1024x32 (type "Graphics Mode"="1280x1024x32" at the darwin boot prompt) and works well enough. Rosetta was segfaulting, but I have SSE3, so I copied over the unpatched CoreGraphics from mactel and Rosetta is working now.

(Note: This system seems to be very similar to the Acer Aspire 1694 (X700 Version) mentioned below)Method: Used Install On A Partition Simple And Accurate and then patched with Maxxuss' 0.3 patch, followed by the 0.4_1 SSE3->SSE2 patch.

Notes:With that release of Tiger w/ patches & 10.4.3 updater. I also patched the graphics .kext to enable QE. I really didn't have to do anything but throw out 1 file to get the system up and fast running. Everything is quick and zippy. Sleep function works with Maxxus V.05 SSE3 partial patch. Faster than my G4 Tower.

Method: deadmoos VMWare patched for OS X, currently triple booting xp, linux and os x using grub. dd'ed using bs=512 and skip=63, had to change the id of my partition to "af". don't worry if it say's unknown, should still work.

=====Compaq Evo 610C 2.0GHZ SSE2 1GB RAM======by Wenle.ZEverything works, but sound doesn't. Also the brightness control is not working. or i just don't konw how to use it. How to make the sound works?I used Viper's 10.4.1 DVD image. The 10.4.3 MaxxU patched doesn't work. it won't even get into the installation. I also have dual boot now. But i still don't know how to install bin files.

NIC works. Graphics works in VESA mode at 1024x768. Sound doesn't work. There is an AC97 (ALI 5451) but the southbridge seems to be unsupported in Apple's AC97 driver.Wireless doesn't work. Modem not tested. Boots using platform=X86PC. With maxxuss's patch, powerpc applications work flawlessly.Update: Reinstalled using patched DVD. Now it shows battery level, and no longer needs to boot with platform=X86PC (it was necessary for speed reasons). ASUS Wireless USB thumb works with ralink 2500 driver.

Method: using deadmoos VMWare patched for OS X, dual booting XP and OS X with darwin. No second drive necessary -- just using 2nd created partition changed to "AF". Basically following this guide ([3]) to the letter.

Comments: I had to remove ATI kexts in order to boot with my Radeon 9600 XT (my old geforce worked with no problems). Radeon showed VESA 2.0 on the bootloader, on the contrary geforce shows VESA 3.0. Also, I have to disable USB 2.0 support in the bios. On board sound worked perfect with darwint, s kext, onboard 3com gigabit ethernet didnI at worked, but a cheap Realtek nic worked fine (RTL8139D chipset). The system runs very fast taking in mind you dont have 2d acceleration.Recently I reinstalled using a patched developer dvd. Installation worked perfect, but I had also to remove the kexts from ATI and install ac97 darwinA, s kexts. Also this installation made Screensavers panel work.VooD

Turning Rosetta on - Big bold note: The reason that Rosetta and it's accompanying apps do not work is because the Deadmoo image has support for it patched out. In order to re-enable this, you need to download the unpatched version, which can be found in the hardware section of the forums, and easier in the IRC channel. Before it, no apps would run for me, iTunes, Photoshop installs, ect., however after I am completely able to run all apps. It takes minimal amount of time, and as long as you are careful it is pretty failsafe. A must for all deadmoo imagers.

Darwin boots fine, after switching to a USB keyboard, I can use single user mode but nothing more yet, using the unpatched version of deadmoo's tiger-x86.tar.bz2 tarball, ill check back latter and see what else i can achieve.

Method: Native boot from patched DVD onto 40GB Maxtor Drive. Used a Windows box to prep the image, following instructions provided. Needed "Platform=X86PC -x" and removal of a 3Com PCI card to install.

Compared to my D505 this was a breeze to set up. Used the patched DVD installer and installed to a second hard drive. Copied across the Intel830* and AC97 kexts from a Darwin 8.01 CD, and changed the IOPCIMatch string in AppleIntelIntegratedGraphics to 0x25728086. Did the standard chmod, chown, touch, repair permissions.

Used patched version which did not require any patches to run. Installed OS X first, then XP, then Fedora Core 4. All three work well. OS X picked up on XP and mounted the partition as well as adding it to its boot loader (even defaulting to XP.) Using 1280 as resolution, sound works, have not attempted cd writing yet. 2ff7e9595c
